🔐 Priority #1: A misconfigured API Key can expose your account. Follow these rules to protect yourself.
🛡️ 5 Security Rules
1. NEVER enable withdrawals
Bots only need trading permissions. Without withdrawals, funds stay in your account even if keys are stolen.
2. IP Restrict
Configure your API Key to only work from specific IPs (your server's IP).
3. Do not share your keys
Nobody needs your API Key except the platform where you will use it.
4. Rotate them periodically
Every 3-6 months, delete the old key and create a new one.
5. Enable 2FA on the exchange
Even if someone steals your API, without 2FA they can't create new keys.
